I’m a born-and-raised Texan (now Coloradoan), living in Girona and racing gravel bikes. I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M collecting dust. I am a husband, father, classical pianist, metalhead, and coffee snob. I owe all of my success to my faith in Christ, my family, and my friends, and I hope to make you all proud.
